7 - PROTECTION FEATURESInput Over Current ProtectionThe PTB30 series incorporates a primary AC line fuse for input over current protection to prevent damage to the LED driver

and meet product safety requirements as outlined in Section 6.

Short Circuit and Over Current ProtectionThe PTB30 series is protected against short-circuit such that a short from any output to return shall not result in a fire

hazard or shock hazard. The driver shall hiccup as a result of a short circuit or over current fault. Removal of the fault will

return the driver to within normal operation. The driver shall recover, with no damage, from a short across the output for an

indefinite period of time.

Internal Over temperature ProtectionThe PTB30 series is equipped with internal temperature sensor on the primary power train. Failure to stay within the

convection power rating will result in the power supply reducing the available current (fold back) below the programmed

amount. The main output current will be restored to the programmed value when the temperature of the built-in

temperature sensor cools adequately.

Output Open Load ProtectionWhen the LED load is removed, the output voltage of the PTB30 series is typically limited to 1.3 times the maximum output

voltage of each model.

8 - OUTPUT POWER DE-RATING AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES

The PTB30 series can be operated with cooling air temperatures above 50°C ambient by linearly de-rating the total

maximum output power (or current) by 2.5%/°C typical from 50℃ to 70℃.

PTB30/15Series


9 - PHASE-CUT DIMMINGDimming of the driver is possible with standard TRIAC-based incandescent dimmers that chop the AC voltage asshown in Figure 2, or with ELV dimmers. During the rapid rise time of the AC voltage when the dimmer turns on,the driver does not generate any voltage or current oscillations, and inrush current is controlled. During the on-time of the AC input, the driver regulates the output current based upon the conduction angle. The RMS value ofthe driver output current is proportional to the on-time of the AC input voltage. When operating with anincandescent dimmer, the RMS output current varies depending upon the conduction angle and RMS value of theapplied AC input voltage.

Forward-phase (TRIAC) and reverse-phase (ELV) dimming work only at 120 Vac.The PTB30 series offers Tri-Mode Dimming™ compatibility with both phase-cut (reverse-phase and forward-phase) and 0–10V dimmers. Phase-cut dimming always has priority over 0-10 V dimming.

PTB30/15Series


11 - 0-10 V DIMMING

The PTB30 series operate only with 0-10 V dimmers that sink current. They are not designed to operate with 0-10 Vcontrol systems that source current, as used in theatrical/entertainment systems. Developed in the 1980’s, the 0-10 Vsinking current control method is adopted by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) as part of its IECStandard 60929 Annex E.

The method to dim the output current of the driver is done via the +Dim/-Dim Signal pins. The +Dim/-Dim Signal pinsrespond to a 0 to 10 V signal, delivering 1% to 100% of the output current based on rated current for each model. Apull-up resistor is included internal to the driver. When the +Dim wire (purple) is short circuited to the –Dim wire (grey)or to the –LED wire (blue), the output current turns off.If the +Dim input is > 10 V or open circuited, the output current is programmed to 100% of the rated current.When not used, the –Dim wire (grey) and to the +Dim wire (purple) can be individually capped or cut off. In thisconfiguration, no dimming is possible and the driver delivers 100% of its rated output current.

The maximum source current (flowing from the driver to the 0-10 V dimmer) supplied by the +Dim Signal pin is ≤ 1mA. The tolerance of the output current while being dimmed shall be +/-8% typical until down to 1.5 V.

In the PTB30 series, several 0-10 V dimming profiles can be selected, such as a logarithmic profile, a non-linear

profile with 1% minimum dimming, and a non-linear profile with 10% minimum.

By default, the non-linear profile with 1% minimum dimming (show in figure 3) is pre-loaded in the PTB30 series. In

this non-linear 0-10 V dimming profile, 10 V to 8.2 V=100% of the output current, linear between 8.2 V and 1.5 V, <1.5

V=1%.

12 - COMPATIBLE 0-10 V DIMMERS

Figure 3

The non-linear curve is recommended whenusing standard in wall 0-10 V logarithmicdimmers to avoid having insufficient sourcecurrent available to pull the dimmer up to 10 Vand to account for the inability of the dimmer topull below approximately 0.9 V. In these type ofinstallations, the modified transfer function willensure 100% light output and dimming to 1%,regardless of the number of drivers on the 0-10 Vdimming line.

13 - PROGRAMMING

Figure 4

The PTB30 series can be programmed by inserting the audio jack plug into the driver and by plugging the USB otherend of the cable into a computer. The driver does not need to be powered on during the programming process.

When ordering the PTB30 series, please make sure you order a programming cable. The part number for theprogramming cable is “PROG-JACK-USB”.

Programming is done by using the ERP GUI (Graphical User Interface), which enables the user to adjust output current from 100% to 60%.

Furthermore, when programming the driver with a computer using the programming cable, you can access the driver’s internal data log and read the following information: SKU, serial number, manufacturing lot code, hours of operation, firmware revision, and AC power cycles.

For more information, please refer to the GUI user’s manual at:https://www.erp-power.com/our-products/programming-software/

14 - PREDICTED LIFETIME VERSUS CASE AND AMBIENT TEMPERATURE

Lifetime is defined by the measurement of the temperatures of all the electrolytic capacitors whose failure would affect light outputunder the nominal LED load and worst case AC line voltage. The graphs in figures 5 and 6 are determined by the electrolyticcapacitor with the shortest lifetime, among all electrolytic capacitors. It represents a worst case scenario in which the LED driver ispowered 24 hours/day, 7 days/week. The lifetime of an electrolytic capacitor is measured when any of the following changes inperformance are observed:1) Capacitance changes more than 20% of initial value 2) Dissipation Factor (tan δ): 150% or less of initial specified value3) Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR): 150% or less of 4) Leakage current: less of initial specified value

initial specified value

Figure 5Notes:The PTB30W-0700-42 and PTB30W-0500-42 are not recommended for IC (Insulated Contact) rated fixtures. For ICrated applications at the 30 W power level, ERP recommends the use of the PSS series.The ambient temperature Tambient and the differential between Tambient and Tcase mentioned in the above graphs arerelevant only as long as both the driver and the light fixture are exposed to the same ambient room temperature. Ifthe LED driver is housed in an enclosure or covered by insulation material, then the ambient room temperature is nolonger valid. In this situation, please refer only to the case temperature Tcase.It should be noted the graph “Lifetime vs. Ambient Temperature” may have an error induced in the final application ifthe mounting has restricted convection flow around the case. For applications where this is evident, the actual casetemperature measured at the Tc point in the application should be used for reliability calculations.
